Java の Iterator インターフェイスと LIstIterator インターフェイスの詳細な紹介

/**
 * An iterator over a collection. {@code Iterator} takes the place of
 * {@link Enumeration} in the Java Collections Framework. Iterators
 * differ from enumerations in two ways:
 * Iterators allow the caller to remove elements from the underlying collection during the iteration with well-defined semantics.
 * Method names have been improved.
 * This interface is a member of the Java Collections Framework.
 * @param <E> the type of elements returned by this iterator*/
public interface Iterator<E> {
  /**
   * Returns {@code true} if the iteration has more elements.
   * (In other words, returns {@code true} if {@link #next} would
   * return an element rather than throwing an exception.)
   * @return {@code true} if the iteration has more elements
   */
  boolean hasNext();

  /**
   * Returns the next element in the iteration.
   * @return the next element in the iteration
   * @throws NoSuchElementException if the iteration has no more elements
   */
  E next();

  /**
   * Removes from the underlying collection the last element returned
   * by this iterator (optional operation). This method can be called
   * only once per call to {@link #next}. The behavior of an iterator
   * is unspecified if the underlying collection is modified while the
   * iteration is in progress in any way other than by calling this
   * method.
   *
   * @implSpec
   * The default implementation throws an instance of
   * {@link UnsupportedOperationException} and performs no other action.
   *
   * @throws UnsupportedOperationException if the {@code remove}
   *     operation is not supported by this iterator
   *
   * @throws IllegalStateException if the {@code next} method has not
   *     yet been called, or the {@code remove} method has already
   *     been called after the last call to the {@code next}
   *     method
   */
  default void remove() {
    throw new UnsupportedOperationException("remove");
  }

  /**
   * Performs the given action for each remaining element until all elements
   * have been processed or the action throws an exception. Actions are
   * performed in the order of iteration, if that order is specified.
   * Exceptions thrown by the action are relayed to the caller.
   *
   * @implSpec
   * <p>The default implementation behaves as if:
   * <pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false">{@code
   *   while (hasNext())
   *     action.accept(next());
   * }

/**
 * An iterator for lists that allows the programmer
 * to traverse the list in either direction, modify
 * the list during iteration, and obtain the iterator's
 * current position in the list. A {@code ListIterator}
 * has no current element; its <I>cursor position</I> always
 * lies between the element that would be returned by a call
 * to {@code previous()} and the element that would be
 * returned by a call to {@code next()}.
 * An iterator for a list of length {@code n} has {@code n+1} possible
 * cursor positions, as illustrated by the carets ({@code ^}) below:
 * <PRE>
 *           Element(0)  Element(1)  Element(2)  ... Element(n-1)
 * cursor positions: ^      ^      ^      ^         ^
